Nondisp midcervical fx unsp femur, init for opn fx type I/2

This code describes a fracture located in the middle portion of the femoral neck that has not shifted from its original position. It specifically indicates an open fracture, meaning the bone has broken through the skin, classified as either Type I or Type II according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification. This is the initial encounter for treatment of this specific injury.

Use this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced midcervical femur fracture where the skin integrity has been compromised due to the injury, and the wound is relatively clean (Type I) or has moderate soft tissue damage (Type II). This code is appropriate for the initial hospital admission or outpatient visit for definitive treatment.

• Ensure documentation specifies "midcervical" and "nondisplaced" for accurate code assignment.
• Confirm the Gustilo-Anderson classification of "Type I" or "Type II" for the open fracture component.
• This "initial encounter" code is used as long as the patient is receiving active treatment for the fracture.
